Farah is x years old. Ibtisam is 3 years younger than Farah. Muna is twice as old as Ibtisam. Write and expression in terms of x, for
(a) Ibtisam's age,
(b) The sum of their three ages, giving your answer in its simplest form.​

Sagot :

Answer:

Farah: x

Ibtisam: x-3

Muna: 2(x-3) or 2x-6

Sum of all their ages: 4x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Farah is x, so we don't need an expression for that.

Ibtisam is 3 years younger than Farah, which means that we need to subtract 3 from Farah, and that would be Ibtisam's age. x-3.

Muna is 2 TIMES Ibtisam's age, so we need to multiply whatever expression taht was used for Ibtisam by 2. Put brackets around the equation with 2 outside: 2(x-3). Solve and you get 4x-6

Now, you have all their ages in expression form, now you need to simplify by adding:

x+x+2x-6

We cannot simplify -6, so we put that aside. Add all the x's and you get 4x, insert the minus 6 at the end:

4x-6

Hope this helps!

Answer:

a) X -3

b) 4x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Farah's age is X so Ibtisam will be X - 3 old since he is 3years younger than Farah

b) Farah is X years old

Ibtisam is X - 3 years old

Muna is 2(X -3) since she is 2 times older than Ibtisam.

the sum of Thier ages will be

X + X -3 + 2(x-3)

= 2x - 3 + 2x - 6

= 4x - 9
